Lack Of Foundation For Attack On Smith News & Observer. j “I attended the Asheville meeting j of my beloved Methodist bishops I i might say that X have attended a > number of political meetings of { Vardcman and Tom Watson, and I even fought against Tammany one! tall in New York, but I do not re- j call any campaign in which there was such a large ratio of actual un- j truth and misrepresentation, or more vulgarity and temper display ed. These words occur in a pri vate letter to the editor of The , Journal, from a gentleman whose j name we cannot disclose because J they were not written for publica- I tion. Of course, it may be said that j since no name is given, the words j may have been made up or that | they were written by a nobody. But we know them to be genuine, writ- ! ten by a member of the Methodist j church, a man who has observed much, and is the author of several books. “WORTH WEIGHT IH COLO" Verdict of Woman Who T ried Pinkham’s Compound Tully, X.

But this here tax busi ness is gittin to be rite smart of a bother tu them whar owns any thing. and you can’t blame folks fur talkin mean an sassy about the way their money is wasted spec ially on the schools.

And hit hasn't worth what hit is a costing the tax payers. They sed the oid way wuz a failure, if hit wuz the new way is a failure tu. Fact is that they have kinder overdon this thing of schules anyway. fur most of folks don't want education. They have took the old hoss tu water but they cant git him to drink, but they say tu jist keep him rite thar at .lie trough till he dies and let the taxpayer foot the bill. And sum cf these "good teachers” that they brag so about haint so more fit tu teach schula than -'Wet'' Smith is tu be presi dent. In this day most of things ai. dun fur show.

WORRIED A LOT Ron-Down, Nervous, Appetite Gone, Lady Shows Great improvement After Usmg Cardui. Waterloo, S. C.—“I took Cardui at intervals for three years, and have been in good health since last fall,” says Mrs. Noble J. Hayes, who lives near here. "My improvement after taking a course of this medi cine was really remarkable. “I am much stronger and can ac complish so much more work now. My weight increased twenty pounds, and my color is fresh and good. “For a long time I had been feel ing poorly. Some days I dragged j around the house and had not enough energy to do my housework, “I worried a lot about myself. I did not seem like myself, and my nerves were all on edge. I did not sleep well, and my appetite left me. “I found Cardui to be an excel lent tonic. After I had taken it a few weeks, I began to pick up and to gain ia weight and strength. “Now I am in fine health. I have recommended Cardui to many of my friends, and shall continue to do so.” For over. 60 years, Cardui has been used with «!»»»g A.nH recom mended by thousands of women for weakness and similar yiim«»nt-« Try it lor your troubles; At OS drug stores. NC-192 CHOPS OFF LEG u Austrian Charged With Hacking , Away Limb To Collect S400.000 Indemnity Vienna.—Accused of having de- ; liberately hacked off his left leg with an axe after insuring himself against disablement for $400,000 Emil Marek. an engineer-inventor, was carried into the Vienna central criminal court to stand his trial for fraud and slander Accused with j him were his wiie Martha, aged 19. her sister. Paula Lowenstein. .32. charged with aiding and abetting j him. and Karl Marz hospital attend- [ rnt at Modling. and his. Marie I Mraz, charged with slander. On Sunday morning. June 13. j 192b. Marek screamed while shaping ! a life-size model with an axe upon the terrace of his idvlic villa in the j Hintercruhl Valley, 15 miles from Vienna He was found by his wife and others with his leg almost sever- |‘ ed at the knee. Tb~ leg was ampu- | tat?d in the hospital and was then j accidentally destroyed. Refused Payment The Anglo-Danubian Lloyd com- j pcny. supported by certificates that the leg shewed marks of four blows j contended that Marek must havei hacked it off himself or that some body assisted him. end they refused j payment on the policy. Marz and ! his wife were later produc td as wit- J nesses by Marek to the police to prove that his severed limb was wil fully slashed by two su-geons in the Mooing hospital to make it appear that four blows had been struck Nearly two years have elapsed be fore the trial could proceed, be cause Marek's condition was pre carious from blood-poisoning all last year. Mraz and his wife confessed to th' police that Marek promised the $1 500 for false evidence about the manipulation of the amputated limb, which story, they said. Marek made up. Outstanding points are mat Mare* though a powerful athlete, perform ed an amazing feat if he severed the limb alone, and that he and his wife have perfectly good records, t while Mraz and shrdluetaoishrdlun i while Mraz and his wife have both j several times been famished for j theft. Technical points in the insurance question are that Marek gave his age as 33. which he now really ap pears. and described himself as a mine-owner and electric works man ager. which is an exaggeration. Their behavior in court showed that the husband and wife are on the most affectionate terms. ' Both Marek and his wife pleaded innocence and have persistently de nied everything alleged against them.
